Do Self-Committers Mind Other-Imposed Commitment? An Experiment on Weak Paternalism
(2011)This experiment investigates whether protégés judge paternalism by means of its consequences or on principled grounds. Subjects receive a payment for showing up early the next morning. The later they show up the less they ... -
Induction and Deduction in Bayesian Data Analysis
(2011)The classical or frequentist approach to statistics (in which inference is centered on significance testing), is associated with a philosophy in which science is deductive and follows Popper's doctrine of falsification. ... -
Foundational Issues in Statistical Modeling: Statistical Model Specification and Validation
(2011)Statistical model specification and validation raise crucial foundational problems whose pertinent resolution holds the key to learning from data by securing the reliability of frequentist inference. The paper questions ... -
The Limits of Market Efficiency
(2011)The framework rules within which either market or political activity takes place must be classified in the non-partitionability set under the Samuelson taxonomy. Therefore there is nothing comparable to the profit-loss ... -
Empirical Economic Model Discovery and Theory Evaluation

Automatic Actions: Challenging Causalism
(2011)I argue that so-called automatic actions—routine performances that we successfully and effortlessly complete without thinking such as turning a door handle, downshifting to 4th gear, or lighting up a cigarette—pose a ... -

Affective Social Ties—Missing Link in Governance Theory
(2012)Although governance is about interpersonal relationships, it appears that the antecedents and consequences of affective bonds (social ties) in social groups dealing with commonpool resources and public goods have been ... -
Statistical Science Meets Philosophy of Science Part 2: Shallow versus Deep Explorations
(2012)Inability to clearly defend against the criticisms of frequentist methods has turned many a frequentist away from venturing into foundational battlegrounds. Conceding the distorted perspectives drawn from overly literal ... -
How Can We Cultivate Senn’s Ability?

New Approaches to Classical Liberalism
(2012)This article focuses on the following three novel and original philosophical approaches to classical liberalism: Den Uyl and Rasmussen’s perfectionist argument from meta-norms, Gaus’s justificatory model, and Kukathas’s ... -
The Renegade Subjectivist: José Bernardo’s Reference Bayesianism
(2012)This article motivates and discusses José Bernardo's attempt to reconcile the subjective Bayesian framework with a need for objective scientific inference, leading to a special kind of objective Bayesianism, namely reference ...
